My First DESCARTES

Life, thought, and works of the father of modern thought

Has philosophy always intrigued and fascinated you, but also intimidated you because of its complex content and the overly abstruse language of philosophers? Or did you study it at school without truly understanding it and perhaps not being inspired by it at all? This book is designed for those approaching philosophy for the first time, who want to understand and appreciate it without too much effort, and in an entertaining way.
In this issue, we will introduce Descartes, the father of modern thought. We will explore the most important concepts of his doctrine, including the Method, methodological and hyperbolic doubt, Cogito ergo sum, God and the proofs of His existence, Cartesian physics, morality, and passions.
